Let us remember her Eastender's role where she died on the ice after being tapped slightly by Frank Butcher's car and before anyone says it, yes I know she banged her head.

What gets me about this is that no one even touched her after she had fallen, no one took their coat off and wrapped it round her, they all just stood staring, watching her last breath, I found it quite odd.

Watched it all, till you get to the 'good bit' - and the acting throughout is really bad - and real overacting too!

& you are right - the dying scene is really weird. It's drawn out far too long, like an awkward silence. It's uncomfortable and nobody moves at all, they just all look around. It's like the director has said 'Right, everyone give everyone else their best shocked/stunned expression'

Should have got a stuntman from diehard to do a proper crash scene to beef (horse) it up a bit. Or maybe even Bruce Willis himself in a black wig.

She had a succsesful singing career between 1999 and 2001. She released hits such as Perfect Moment, I've got You, I'm Over You, Love Me/Talking In Your Sleep and On The Radio, a cover of Donna Summer's 1980 single.

Also she's had three albums out, one of which was the soundtrack to the musical she was in, in 2003 called My Fair Lady. I believe she played the lead, Eliza Doolitle for a few weeks.

There's also been a greatest hits released last year, featuring hits, album tracks and remixes.

Don't these celebrities have accountants who would advise that they owe a boat load of tax? Wouldn't they advise their clients to put some money is a separate account to pay their tax, or something like that? Maybe MM thought there would be another large paycheck sometime in the future.

Come on, we're in a bad enough economic state as it is and given her outstanding tax bill has likely contributed to it, the only person that would entertain the thought would be Hugh Grant playing a befuddled buffoon because in real life he seems like a no BS media savvy machine.

Although I can see Cameron going for it since he seems to have a thing for celebrity endorsements.

This is the bit I don't get. My understanding is that normal, non-celeb people don't have a bankruptcy order dissolved until 6 years have passed irrespective of whether you clear your debts or not. It's something that's meant to stay on your financial records for 6 years, so how is it that hers only lasts a year? Perhaps you get special rates if you're a celeb... Agree with the earlier poster who said she has most likely 'bought' houses and cars for family and close friends so that it seems as if she has no assets that can be used by HMRC as payment of her tax bill. She must not have paid tax for yonks to have a bill of £417k.

The £417,000 refers to Kerry Katona's tax bill. The article jumps about a bit referring to different zelebs, so it's not clear but it reads 'Her stock rose higher after winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. But, despite this fame and accompanying fortune, she was made bankrupt by the High Court after failing to deliver the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill'

I'm quite surprised to see this. didn't she have also successful career as a trashy novelist? I'm sure I've seen her books turned into dramas on telly.

I was going to ask about that. I remember vaguely seeing her ages ago on some show where she was promoting her new novel. I can't remember if she wrote the book or if she had the idea and someone else wrote it for her.

Ab yes, Martine's dip into the land of chick lit - sadly the first chapter is no longer on line, but oh my, what a read that was... I give you some quotes I've managed to dig up

Hmmmm, who does our heroine, Mandy, remind us of...

"hair was dark as ebony and … fell in shiny waves over her shoulders; her skin was flawless, even and gleaming, her long dark lashes framing her beautiful big brown eyes perfectly. Her lower lip was fuller than the top and when she smiled she lit up the room."

And my favourite of all

If you went for it, truly went for it, you could get the life you wanted here, and that was Mandy's aim - to have it all. And why not? She'd read a greeting on a card once in Paperchase on the King's Road that had truly stuck with her: Reach for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

Although, to be fair to Martine, she didn't use a ghost writer, she absolutely should have, but she didn't.

She will only be bankrupt for a year. It used to be 5 years but the Labour government changed it to 12 months.
Bankruptcy is a convenient way of getting rid of all your debts. No doubt she has now gone on holiday to some warm country!
